About: I have experience fostering dogs and children. I'm home all day and will treat your dog as one of the family or pack. I also have experience with small breeds and can adjust to fit your dogs needs. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention and will have all there needs met. I can also provide care for older less active dogs and those just needing attention and love. Just let me know what you and your dog are used to and we'll make it work. I have a very open schedule so can easily accommodate whatever schedule your pet is used to. I'm naturally an early riser so can easily make time throughout the day to take care of your pets. I will care for your home and pets as if they were my own. I'll send pictures and be sure pets are safe and happy each time I'm there.

Debra was AWESOME!!!! She was so good with our pups, and she followed their schedule, which is important in older dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates and asked questions when she was unsure of something. She went above and beyond by taking our trash out, washing the sheets and making the bed she slept in, and making sure the house was nice and clean when we got home. I will DEFINITELY be utilizing Debra to watch our pups again!!!

Belinda and her husband were absolutely awesome. I was worried about leaving Elle with someone other than family. Elle loved them instantly. Belinda sent pics and notes on Elle’s stay while I was away. She had a huge stuffed dog that Elle loved. Belinda said Elle even took her toys, one by one, to lay with the stuffed dog. I will definitely recommend Belinda and use her again! Thanks Belinda for a wonderful experience with a sitter for Elle!!!

Nina arrived a bit early, which was welcome, and came fully equipped! She was kind enough to allow a computer service person in to repair a laptop, who had unexpectedly announced their intention to appear, less than an hour before we were to leave. Our Boys loved her, and she kept us well informed, with pictures and texts. We were about half an hour longer than planned, which Nina accepted with good cheer. We paid her for the extra time, of course. A wonderful experience, and we’ll engage her, again, before we head back “north”. Thanks!

About: I grew up in a home of dogs and cats and now have one of each myself, so I have lots of experience with both. I have cared for a wide range of breeds, ages and personalities. I can administer medication, change doggy diapers and tire your pet out with fetch (or whatever they like). Favorite pet sitting experience: dog sitting 6 australian shepherds and 3 cats all under the same roof. All with different diets and daily routines. So much energy and so much speciality food. I am in the slow season of my seasonal job so I have more room for pet care than usual. My schedule changes weekly so my weekly availability varies. I have a super friendly dog that can keep your dog company for boarding or daycare. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m careful to read instructions very carefully and check in with the owner if unsure about anything.

Kaylee was amazing! It was our first time hiring a dog sitter and Kaylee exceeded our expectations. She follows our daily schedule perfectly, very attentive to all 3 of our animals, played with our dogs/kitten every day, always made sure they had fresh water & food, took our dogs on walks often, gave them treats and sent us updates every day! She was easy to get a hold of and communicates very well which was important to us! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur babies. She also sent the cutest photos of our animals every day! We will definitely be hiring her for any future trips we have & I recommend you do too! Thank you so much Kaylee, we are so grateful to have found a sitter like you! She will love and care for all your animals the way you do😊

Dixan was fantastic. She did a wonderful job taking care of my elder dog. It’s always difficult to be away from your fur baby when they require more care and attention so it was a great relief to have someone care for her so well.

About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Havashu and a Westie. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay. I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.

Lydia did a wonderful job with our dogs and cat! She made sure to send picture updates throughout her stay. Very professional, house was kept tidy and in the same condition as we left it. We really enjoyed having her in our home, she really did love and care for our fur babies as much as we do! Will be booking for future stays.

About: Taking care of my childhood dog for 12 yrs. On 1/4/24 i got a puppy, her name is Indigo & she’s my whole world. We have 6 cats at my mom’s house as well. I love all animals. My professional experience includes having worked at Petcoral Veterinary Hospital and Resort doing boarding and sitting in daycare along with helping veterinarians administer meds, do anal glands, nail trimming, bathing & etc. Pet care fits into my daily routine because i'm working on various projects at home so i prefer not to be employed full time. I enjoy the freedom of working odd jobs and the enjoyment of meeting new pets/people. I'm happy to do whatever you need me to for your pet/s and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I love animals & i love to travel so pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I love meeting new dogs/cats & getting to know their unique personalities. I care for pets by making sure they're fulfilled physically and mentally. Whether its petting them as much as they want or playing with them, i wanna become one of their favorite humans to spend time with.
